DRC Techno launches New Lab-Grown<br />
Diamond detection instruments<br />
DRC Techno announced the<br />
introduction of two new<br />
instruments designed to identify<br />
laboratory grown CVD and HPHT<br />
diamonds. Their J-Mini and<br />
J-Detect 9000 devices offer different<br />
features and price points to<br />
supplement their globally<br />
recognized J-Smart Pro<br />
machine.<br />
DRC’s current technology<br />
developments address the<br />
concerns of the jewelry<br />
industry in scanning<br />
loose diamonds or those<br />
mounted in jewelry from<br />

GIA Upgrades iD100 Gem Testing Device to<br />
Screen Pink Diamonds<br />
GIA (Gemological Institute of<br />
America) released a software<br />
upgrade on September 4th for the<br />
industry-leading GIA iD100® gem<br />
testing device, giving the instrument<br />
the ability to distinguish natural pink<br />
diamonds from laboratory-grown (HPHT<br />
and CVD) diamonds and diamond<br />
simulants. The GIA iD100 Pink<br />
Diamond Software Upgrade leverages<br />
advanced spectroscopic technology,<br />
combined with GIA's decades of<br />
K. Diamond identification from<br />
production sources to the retailers<br />
is now essential at every level. The<br />
new J-Mini is designed for over-thecounter<br />
ease of use while J-Detect<br />
research into pink diamonds. The new<br />
software is available for purchase on the<br />
GIA Store at store.GIA.edu for $ 249<br />
9000 is made for larger applications.<br />
“Our technology finds undisclosed<br />
lab grown diamonds at every stage of<br />
the diamond distribution pipeline<br />
from diamond companies and<br />
jewelry manufacturers to the finest<br />
retailers. We find them<br />
almost everywhere we<br />
test,” he said. “Our sample<br />
database now has increased<br />
considerably compared to<br />
any other similar service<br />
providers, which helps us<br />
to analyze each stone that<br />
is scanned." said Vipul<br />
Sutariya, director of the<br />
company.<br />
as a download for current GIA iD100<br />
owners or pre-installed when ordering<br />
a new device.<br />
“As the presence of laboratory-grown<br />
diamonds increases in the market, it is<br />
beneficial to have a robust, researchbased,<br />
proven gem testing device such<br />
as the GIA iD100,” said Anthony<br />
Brown, GIA director of instruments<br />
operations. “Even though our monthly<br />
sales have tripled, we are able to fulfill<br />
orders within two business days.”<br />
